It’s very red! That’s ok by me, I like read. The sound has been taylored to Rocco’s requirements, so will suit anyone who is a finger style funk player. It is much like the RH450 in features, but with a very different tone and tweaked tone controls. The compress and tone shaping has also been tweaked.

Here is a video of Rocco Prestia and his new TC Electronic Staccato’51 bass amp:

There’s more detail about how the amp came about in this video from the TC folks:

Just received a Staccato 51 for review. Haven’t had time to run it through full tryout with a a band, but my first impression is that TC Electronic and Rocco got it right.set flat with a Lakland 55-94, this amp grabs the punchy, burp-gun Rocco sound. Tight, punchy, funky, with lots of options for personalizing. I’ll repost when a full review is ready.
